*your* field is ` masking `
the real problem affecting
"mental health of all individuals"
industrial poisoning of society ?

Some conditions (schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD) have high heritability, meaning that genes increase risk more than does the environment.

For example, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33500177/
( funny🤡 how alcohol is *socialy* presented as separate category )
should i be worries about consuming
the world's most popular psychoactive? (caffeine)
🥳 ( epigenetics?!! )
the above seams in contradiction to
the below
significant environmental risk factors
"exposure to alcohol/drugs"
( afaik prenatal exposure being the most detrimental )
😬
sounds like a fun time for any remaining researchers
though id guess "private health" will keep the data to themselves 😬

(what ever from it takes)
unless its funding you 😝
id have to admit some skepticism
wrt : DSM label
categorization
eg : (schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment
Yet, when coupled with empathy and biopsychosocial formulation, the DSM can provide us with some sense of how best to help a person who is suffering from mental illness.
The Wikipedia article cites Susan Cahalan's book, "The Great Pretender," which raised major concerns about Rosenhan's integrity & the study's credibility.

*you* psyc crowd dont like it mentioned
and have things to say
but i dont like ppl who dont or cant think putting other in their "made up" categories
.... ( ever think about the "set of all sets" ?? )
because i didnt happen to have the energy
bother answering a concerned "friend" (collage-psyc coarse)
and i their eyes i became "insane"
(had a lot of things on my mind at the time)
so i have first hand experience of
how delusional human subcategory application is 😜
over concerned ppl
offering their un wanted diagnosis ;)
it was interesting find out how
rosenhan contributed to change's
in the "the system"
eg ppl now required to "self referrer" or "submit"
to psyc
thankfully i KNOW id do better with a horoscope 😉
reminded me of
"problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves,& wiser so full of doubts." — Bertrand Russell
i wander why
fools and fanatics might be predisposed
making "impulsive actions"?
